This landmark residence dating from 1905 extends to a whopping 635sq m (6,835sq ft). Coming to the market for the first time in history, it stands on a 1.2-acre elevated site with views of the town and Vinegar Hill. It was a parochial house in the past, and has an abundance of period features and character, but would benefit from updating. Ber-exempt, it has eight bedrooms plus garages and outhouses on the site.

Minus: It is large and updating could be costly
